hello red!! do you have any tips for caring for pikachu or uh. just about any of the 'pika clones'. and maybe a recommendation for which one is easiest? ive been looking into getting my first pokemon of my own (aside from our familys one) but im extremely fond of them all and i! am not sure which would be the best choice to go for!
pikachu is a very common pet and starter because they're fairly easy to take care of and are generally smart and energetic companions. im very fond of pikachu they're especially popular in kanto and one of my battle team members is a pikachu
electric types in general are a high energy type and all the electric rodents besides the pawmi family have some of that prey nervousness so thats smth to be aware of
id say pikachu and pachirisu are the simplest and easiest to care for, they dont need any special accommodations, theyre clever and cute and fun and theyre pretty hardy and decently sized
i dont reccomend morpeko, togedemaru, or pawmi for beginner trainers (morpeko has its whole thing with its food moods, togedemarus whole body is electrified spikes, and pawmi evolves so if you're not prepared to take care of a pawmot don't get a pawmi)
plusle and minun do best if they're paired together and they're pretty little and kind of bad as battlers if you're looking for a battler pokemon but idk theyre fine too
dedenne and emolga are a bit delicate but there's nothing really difficult about their care besides that they're small. ive heard dedenne can be a bit of a nuisance and that it saps your electricity though, and both emolga and pachirisu will need a climbing tower of some kind too they like being up high
im biased towards pikachu (kanto moment) (and i also have one whos really cute and a good battler) theyre sociable and generally sweet-tempered and evolve with a stone if you want to evolve them etc
this is my pikachu its a shiny its name is silver and it beat the elite four with its touy (light ball) i love pikachu.
